IMPROVEMENT iN SAW-HANDLES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 99,l l0, dated January 25, 1870.

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM W. RICHARD- SON, of Chicago, in the county of Cook, and in the State of Illinois, have invented an Improved Saw-Handle; and I do yhereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters and iigures of reference marked thereon.

The nature of the invention consists in the construction and use of the saw-handle hereinafter described, said device to be made of wood and iron, or any other suitable and convenient materials.

To enable others skilled in the art to make/ and use my said invention, I proceed to describe it more fully, asfollows:

y Figure l of the accompanying drawings is a perspective view of said handle and a piece ofthe saw attached to it. A A is a piece of turned wood, of the shape there represented. BB is a metal ferrule, provided with a flange at F. C C is a loop fastening in that ferrule' with a screw; D D, a piece of saw-blade; E and E', notches in blade, into which the loop C clamps, and G and G notches into which ange Fof the ferrule B B clamps.

Fig. 2 is a sectional view of the same de- A A representthe wood of the handle;

B B, the metal ferrule; C C, the loop which `blade will slip into it far enough tolet the loop rest in the notch E or E. The handle is then screwed down until the loop CY C, binding in the notch E, clamps the blade iirmly y against the flange F, so that the iiange F of the ferrule B B will clamp into the notches G and G, and the said screw C C', passing up into the wood handle A A, also secures it into the ferrule. The handle will then be found to be suliciently secured for any reasonable purpose. f

That I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The combined socket and ferrule B B, the vflange F, the loops C C, and the screw C C, passing through the ferrule B into the wood handle A, and the notches E and E and G and G in the saw-blade, when constructed and used substantially as herein set forth. y

In testimony that I claim the foregoing specication I have hereunto set my hand this 23d day of June, 1869.

' WILLIAM W. RICHARDSON.
